The genusAcantholaimus(Chromadoridae: Nematoda) is one of the most species-rich deep-sea nematode genera. The descriptions of two new species and supplemental descriptions of five known species from the Angola Basin (south-east Atlantic Ocean) and a depth of about 5500 m are given.Acantholaimus formosussp. nov. is characterized by a spindle-shaped body with narrow elongated anterior end, the position of amphideal fovea on the apical tip of the body and by robust rugae and onchia.Acantholaimus skukinaesp. nov. is characterized by its cylindrical body shape; short outer labial, cephalic, cervical, and somatic setae; large amphideal fovea; the position of its amphideal fovea (situated relatively far from the head end); and relatively small onchia.Acantholaimus angustuswas previously found in the Peru Basin (central-eastern Pacific) and the Clarion–Clipperton Nodule Province (Equatorial Pacific), about 13,000 km apart from the nearest previous location of finding. The type location ofA. verscheldiis the Kenyan coast of the Indian Ocean. New specimens of this species were found about 8000 km apart from the type location.Acantholaimus akvavitus, A. iubilusandA. quintuswere previously found in different parts of the Atlantic and the Pacific.

Vortex Interactions

The model of body–vortex interactions, where the fluid flow is planar, ideal and unbounded, and the vortex is a point vortex, is studied. The body may have a constant circulation around it. The governing equations for the general case of a freely moving body of arbitrary shape and mass density and an arbitrary number of point vortices are presented. The case of a body and a single vortex is then investigated numerically in detail. In this paper, the body is a homogeneous, elliptical cylinder. For large body–vortex separations, the system behaves much like a vortex pair regardless of body shape. The case of a circle is integrable. As the body is made slightly elliptic, a chaotic region grows from an unstable relative equilibrium of the circle-vortex case. The case of a cylindrical body of any shape moving in fluid otherwise at rest is also integrable. A second transition to chaos arises from the limit between rocking and tumbling motion of the body known in this case. In both instances, the chaos may be detected both in the body motion and in the vortex motion. The effect of increasing body mass at a fixed body shape is to damp the chaos.

Type Strains

The taxonomic position of an actinomycete isolated from deep-sea sediment from the Indian Ocean was determined by using a polyphasic approach. The presence of iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acids, ll-diaminopimelic acid as the characteristic diamino acid, and MK-9(H4, H6 and H8) as the major menaquinones supported the affiliation of strain IH32-1T to the genus Streptomyces. Comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain IH32-1T exhibited highest similarities to the type strains of Streptomyces globosus (97.6 %) and Streptomyces toxytricini (97.6 %). However, DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain IH32-1T and the type strains of S. globosus and S. toxytricini were determined as 55.2±4.7 and 38.3±2.5 %, respectively. Based on its chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain IH32-1T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces indicus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IH32-1T ( = DSM 42001T = CGMCC 4.5727T).

A taxonomic study was carried out on a novel bacterial strain, designated W11-5T, which was isolated from a pyrene-degrading consortium enriched from deep-sea sediment of the Pacific Ocean. The isolate was Gram-reaction-negative and oxidase- and catalase-positive. Growth was observed in 0.5–12 % (w/v) NaCl and at 10–42 °C. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain W11-5T was shown to belong to the genus Alcanivorax with a close relation to A. dieselolei B-5T (93.9 % 16S rRNA sequence similarity), A. balearicus MACL04T (93.1 %), A. hongdengensis A-11-3T (93.1 %), A. borkumensis SK2T (93.0 %), A. venustensis ISO4T (93.0 %) and A. jadensis T9T (92.9 %). Similarities between the gyrB gene sequences of W11-5T and other species of the genus Alcanivorax were between 76.8 and 80.8 %. The principal fatty acids were C12 : 0 3-OH (8.0 %), C16 : 0 (29.1 %) and C18 : 1ω7c (27.4 %). The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 60.8 mol%. Based on its morphology, physiology and fatty acid composition as well as the results of 16S rRNA and gyrB gene sequence analyses, strain W11-5T ( = MCCC 1A00474T  = CCTCC AB 208236T  = LMG 25514T) represents a novel species of the genus Alcanivorax, for which the name Alcanivorax pacificus sp. nov. is proposed.

The Indian Ocean

A Gram-staining negative, aerobic, oval-shaped bacterium, designated strain PTG4-2T, was isolated from deep-sea sediment of the Indian Ocean. Growth was observed with 1–9 % (w/v) NaCl with optimal growth with 3 %, at pH 6.0–10.0 with an optimum of pH 7.0, and at 4–40 °C with an optimum of 30 °C. Positive for catalase and oxidase. The results of a 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison indicated that PTG4-2T was most closely related to Acuticoccus yangtzensis JL1095T (97.3 %), followed by Acuticoccus kandeliae J103T (96.5 %), all other species shared <93 % sequence similarity. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that PTG4-2T forms a distinct lineage within the genus Acuticoccus , and revealed that the genus Acuticoccus forms a novel family-level clade in the order Rhizobiales . The ANI and the DNA–DNA hybridization estimate values between PTG4-2T and two type strains (A. yangtzensis JL1095T and A. kandeliae J103T) were 79.9–76.2 % and 23.1–20.8 %, respectively. PTG4-2T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone. The principal fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 8 [C18 : 1 ω7c/ω6c (72.2 %)], C18 : 0 (8.4 %), C20 : 1 ω7c (6.4 %) and C16 : 0 (6.3 %). The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified phospholipids, two unidentified glycolipids, one unidentified aminolipid and one unknown lipid. The DNA G+C content of PTG4-2T is 69.2 mol%. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic evidence presented in this study, PTG4-2T should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Acuticoccus , for which the name Acuticoccus sediminis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain PTG4-2T (=MCCC 1A01274T=KCTC 52323T). In addition, a novel family, Acuticoccaceae fam. nov., is proposed to accommodate the genus Acuticoccus .

AbstractMarine sediments from 3°37′S, 83°58′W yield a well-dated pollen record of equatorial Andean vegetation. Moderate development of Podocarpus -high montane rainforest (∼34,000-28,000 yr B.P.) and increase of high Andean grassland pollen (∼28,000-16,000 yr B.P.) imply an extended dry, cool glacial period following a brief interstade. Rapid stepwise expansion in coastal and montane forest pollen characterizes the deglacial interval. The general correspondence between pollen and oxygen isotope variations in Tri 163-31B suggests that tropical climatic variations in the northern Andes were basically coherent with northern hemisphere glacier variations.

The aim of this work was to carry out an inspective survey on frozen slices of swordfish (Xiphias gladius, Linneo 1758), regularly commercialised in Messina, Sicily (Italy). 402 products were checked at retail levels; the products came from four different fishing area: 59 from the Mediterranean Sea, 155 from North-East Atlantic Ocean, 139 from the Indian Ocean, and 49 from the Pacific Ocean. Fifty-one&nbsp; products were sampled and carefully examined macroscopically and histologically. The histological examination was also carried out on 31 muscle portions without macroscopic alterations. 25 samples (Group A), were parasitised by larvae of Gymnorhynchus gigas or Molicola (Gymnorhynchus) horridus. The lesions described for Group B (24 samples) as well as for 31 muscle portions without macroscopic alterations were attributed, to the freezing effect. Histological and macroscopic findings on four samples suggested the presence of parasitic lesions. &nbsp;
